Thank you for your question. Yes, you can ask your injector to use Restylane without lidocaine. However, you will need to let them know ahead of time to ensure they have it available for you.

Thanks so much for this question. Most patients do not have a contraindication to flying after dermal filler injections. Always confirm with your injector/doctor!Best wishes and congratulations!Dr. ALDO
